Here is the magazine cover I created with one of the images I found...enjoy!

This site offers *tons* of great projects. Students could create magazine covers for portfolios and projects. They can use Flickr to create picture quilts to create digital collages. Currently I am working on a research project in another class that involves investigation into visual elements in the English classroom. Flickr.com and sites like Bighugelabs.com offer such great and meaningful ways to use images to create messages, networks, and expressions of self. Sometimes students who struggle with the printed word can use their creative and visual skills to develop learning.

I really enjoyed this week and hope to use Flickr both in my personal and professional lives!
